...With a record of 2-11, the silver-and-Honolulu blue are firmly entrenched at No. 32 on any power poll in this spiral arm of the galaxy. Entrenched, that is, until another loss drops them behind Ohio State, Florida and the Hamburg Sea Devils. Think it can't get worse? Hey, this is the Lions. NFL schedule makers saw fit to arrange the endgame Kitty Cats' so, so long season likewise: at the Green Bay Packers where the Lions haven't won since a guy named Brett Favre took over there (that's right, 1992); against the Chicago Bears in a game which figures to see Motor City backers immortalize the chant "Fire *&#!!%&ing Millen!"; and at the Dallas Cowboys , who on New Year's Eve will probably looking to bag the No. 2 seed in the NFC... Kevin Jones, who was knocked out of the loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, figures to be out for the remainder of the season... Pro Bowl nominee Shaun Rogers... was slapped by the commissioner after testing positive for steroids. The judgment had Rogers forcibly sitting out four games and giving up $250,000. Naturally, "Big Baby" was innocent, protesting that the positive test represented a product that the 354-pound Rogers used to help him control his weight. Or he has asthma. Or he thought they were Shawne Merriman's Pez. Or something... Team officials announced yesterday that WR Mike Williams - you remember him: the former first-round draft pick cum The Most Useless Player in the NFL Today - flunked a weigh-in. At 240 pounds, Williams only missed the target set by Rod Marinelli and Co. by 20. Though no punitive measures have been mentioned, any punishment would seem pointless other then some quality time on the bench... Fire &#!!%&ing Millen.

from message 506:
Here's hoping that the Lions don't take Tagovailoa, he's going to be a dry hole. With the trade of Darius Slay, the Lions have telegraphed that they'll use their number three pick on CB Jeff Okudah.
Tagovailoa was drafted by the Dolphins. I hope he stays healthy, but I don't think he will be. They may get a couple of years out of him, but I think he'll wind up a money pit.
Yep, Tua looks like the second-coming of Sam Bradford.
The way everyone on the field (other than the kickers) gets hit, it's amazing more of them don't wind up in wheelchairs.
They’ll cut him anyway.
:^D
I shall celebrate this totally unexpected Lion’s Super Bowl victory by having a square of my favorite dark chocolate.
Another one! :^)

This actually makes sense, and it seemed like an obvious move, y'know, back when I gave a **** whether the NFL and everyone in it lived or died.
Not anymore!
ROAR!
